[Sega CD --> Amiga] Heart of the Alien

Not WHDLoad but I've just added Heart of The Alien Redux to /Commodore_Amiga/Retroplay/HDLoaders dir on ftp.
Finally we can play Another World II on Amiga. :D

Wow! You did this? How? That's fantastic news! (even if HotA is kinda poopy :D)

Oh no no, Dalibor Javorcek did hard work.

I just did the easy part of converting audio and installing the game. :)

OMG!!! :shocked

That is one of the best posts / news I've read in a long time :great

Who did this, how did they get the SegaCD version to work on an Amiga etc?

We should probably make a dedicated thread for this really :agree

Edit: created a new thread, hope you don't mind Retroplay?

Sorry missed the post above with the same link duh!

This is brilliant indeed. 'Amiga Gaming'-wise 2016 is arguably the best year in this century so far.

Sorry excuse my ignorance but isn't Heart of the Alien just Another World?

Nope, it's Another World Part II that takes place after Another World finishes :great

Edit: ok, found other related posts in the Retroplay's WHD uploads thread so have moved here also ;)

i tested it, is a tremendous conversion and running on 68020 AGA :shocked
checked 68020 ECS, 1mb Chip, 8mb fast: running

Yes, D.J.M. released it yesterday http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=3993 you can also find his official video trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLLfticgh6E

i do something wrong. after the intro/cracktro when workbench should load:

Quote:

HOTA-GAME.exe
Program failed (error #80000004).
Wait for disk activity to finish.

and then guru at reboot.

config: 020, full ecs, 1mb chip, 512mb slow, 8mb z2 fast. ks 2.05 (a600hd)
if i change fast ram from z2 to motherboard fast ram, then simply shell opens.

//edit: after i edited the last option, second z2 fast (board) ram to 8mb (max),
the game it now seems to work, at least the game intro sequence is running.

but i can't get past this screen where you have to enter letters.

Runs great on my A1200. Superb work! :D

This is amazing. Thank you very much for it. I'm hoping for future conversion. Cheers!

It's fine even on my AFA OS 060/JIT

Taken from the file "HOTA.GUIDE" file:

Code:

Requirements "Requirements"

  

Minimum playable requirements:



- MC68030/50Mhz processor ( assembled/compiled for MC68000 )

- 2 MB of FAST memory

- OCS,ECS,AGA or CYBERGRAPHICS

- 8 MB of HDD space or more for converted audio tracks

  ( not required if you play direct from CD )

- CD-ROM

  ( not required after installing game on HDD if you select HDD MUSIC

  or NO MUSIC )

- original CD with the game  

- cdplayer.library v37 ( only for CD MUSIC option )

- kickstart v39

 



Tested configurations:



A1200T + BPPC68060/66Mhz + 256MB fastmem + BVisionPPC, KS3.1, HDD, DVD-ROM 

(scsi.device on Fast ATA-IV controller) and LYRA2 keyboard interface, OS - WB3.9

A1200 + BPPC68040/25MHz + 72MB fastmem, KS3.1, CF card on IDE port, OS - WB3.1

- running with full speed

  

A1200 + B68030/50Mhz + 64MB fastmem, KS3.1, CF card on IDE port, OS - WB3.1

A1200 (without fastmem), KS3.1, CF card on IDE port, OS - WB3.1

- running, but only on half speed

According to the readme it needs a 68030@50MHz. But i'm testing it on my ACA 1230 now.
